Aubertine Won’t Run In NY-21

Democrat Darrel Aubertine, a former state senator and agriculture and markets commissioner, in a statement Wednesday announced he won’t run for the Congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Bill Owens.

“Certainly, the opportunity to serve as your representative in Congress would have been a tremendous opportunity to continue this service, but after much discussion with my family, I have decided not to run for Congress this year,” Aubertine said. “I look forward to continuing my work as a public servant by representing your interests office.”

Aubertine, however, did not completely close the door on another run at elected office.

“North Country in public service over more than 20 years has been an honor and something I hope to do for the foreseeable future,” he said.

After leaving the Cuomo administration, Aubertine moved to Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office as a top deputy.

With him not running, that leaves a clearer field for filmmaker Aaron Woolf, who has been endorsed by county leaders in the NY-21.

On the Republican side, Elise Stefanik remains the favored candidate of GOP county officials who re-affirmed their support for her after two-time candidate Matt Doheny, announced he would seek the GOP nomination.

“Aaron Woolf is running to Win”

The idea tht Aaron Woolf won’t have time to run hard and to win the NY 21 Congressional seat is absurd.

Matt Doheny went on the Glenn Curry Live@Five show yesterday and made the same empty comments he usually makes about being a local boy from High Street and the candidate most capable of of preventing cuts at Fort Drum.

On the Glenn curry show Mr. Doheny spoke to his understanding of the history of Fort Drum and it’s rapid growth since the 1980’s. He didn’t speak about the GOP spearheading efforts to make cuts to the defense budget, or veterans pension benefits, or how he would have voted on these issues. Matt Doheny is not Bill Owens, but he is a job killing Vulture Capitalist who grew up onHigh Street and got rich on Wall Street.

How unique that subversive posters such as New York City Middle Class Mike,
that are obvious party implants in NY21, with no real roots here, have the nerve to criticize a candidate about where they grew up or loyalty to an area. People like New York City Middle Class Mike claim Republican status to help skew polls and primary results. Recruiting egomaniac subversives such as New York City Middle Class Mike can be expected from a party that is desperate to hold onto its power trip.
Be prepared NYCMCM. There is a movement gaining momentum that I am associated with that entails all of us real Republicans changing our party affiliations to Democrat. This is going to continue as each person has contacted another etc.. At least we wont have to worry about audits from a corrupt Federal government. Hopefully some of your own medicine comes back to bite you in your big city ass.

Go Elise in NY21!!!

Seems like a lot of Red State Governors who reluctantly set up Health-care exchanges, because their voters demanded it, are running well in their reelection bids this year. ACA is a boon to the campaigns of these Red State Governors, because half the time they don’t even credit Obama-care in the Titles of the Exchanges that the Gov’t set up for them, but its ACA that’s getting them reelected!

“Sik of You Moron!”

I’ve lived in my home for 7 years and I’m as much a NNY as anyone Sik-of-it. You call me a subversive slime-ball, a man who loves this Country and wants to see the lot of the Middle Class improve. Sounds like your the subversive joining the Democratic Party when you don’t believe in Democratic principles. I stayed in the Republican Party rather than leave to fight for a Progressive Wing in the Republican Party. I think the Tea Party types like yourself are really the subversives, trying to turn the GOP into an ultra Right neo fascist organization! Yeah, you’re the subversive!
